Description of my Ripple Christmas Throw Blanket Free Crochet Pattern.

The Ripple Christmas Blanket is created using the ripple stitch, which uses the double crochet stitch and some increasing and decreasing to make the hills and valleys. This blanket uses a one row repeating pattern to create the ripple stitch .

Using red and white and alternating the stripes so one has 4 rows and the other has 6 rows makes for an interesting design. Ripple blankets make fantastic gifts for a special loved one. It is truly a blanket made with love.

Don’t forget to pin it for later so you don’t lose it.

How to Make the Ripple Stitch.

Note: The foundation chain for this ripple stitch is in multiples of 14, plus an extra 3 added on for turning.

Before you begin your ripple project you can make a small ripple sample to get used to the pattern. Make a chain of 45 (3×14 +3) so you can practice and get confident with making the hills and valleys that make the ripple stitch so special.

Row 1: make a dc into the 4th chain from the hook.

Now make 1dc into each of the next 4 chains, so there are 5 in total (you count the chain-3 as a st), now dc2tog and then dc2tog again, make 1dc into each of the next 4 chains

(You have just made the “valley”. The 4dc’s are the sides and the dc2tog’s create the valley bottom.)

Now make 2dc’s into the next chain, then make 2 more dc’s into the next chain.

These four stitches create the top of the “mountain”.

Now make 1 dc crochet into each of the next 4 chains.

Now we are back at the bottom and you will dc2tog decrease, and then do another dc2tog decrease (another valley).

Then make 1 dc into each of the next 4 chains.

There will be one chain left at the end of your foundation chain. Make 2 dc’s into this last chain to end the row.

Turn work

Row 2: Ch 3,

Make a dc stitch in same stitch,

make 1dc into each of next 4 stitches.

dc2tog (this is a decrease), dc2tog (another decrease),

* make 1 dc into each of next 4 stitches,

make 2dc’s into the next stitch (increase), make 2dc’s into the next stitch (another increase),

make 1dc into each of next 4 stitches,

dc2tog (this is a decrease), dc2tog (another decrease)*

* Repeat between * and *to the end,

then make 1 dc into each of the next 4 chains.

make 2 dc’s into the top of the ch3 from the previous row. Turn your work.

Repeat Row 2.
